Spyderco’s Sage series is a family of folding knives that honors the pioneering designers of our industry. Every member of the Sage family features a flat-ground, leaf-shaped CPM S30V blade, an ergonomic handle design with textured forefinger choil and thumb ramp, and a reversible tip-up wire clip. Each Sage showcases a specific lock mechanism paying homage to the trendsetting knifemaker or designer who invented it. Proceeds from the sale of every Sage folder are donated to the Alzheimer’s Association, Colorado Chapter.

The Sage 3 pays homage to the late Blackie Collins and his groundbreaking Bolt Action Lock. This revolutionary lock design consists of a spring-loaded steel bolt that wedges between a ramp on the tang of the blade and the inside of the handle back strap. Retracting an ambidextrous button releases the lock to close the blade. The new Sage 3 features a black cubic check carbon fiber/G-10 laminate handle.

Notsowise Sage

I own a Sage 1 and a Sage 2 and they are both phenomenal knives. The Sage 3 is not nearly as nice. The orientation of the thumb hole to the pivot make opening and closing awkward. The Sage 3 handle is wider and bulkier than the Sage 1 or 2 and just doesn't feel as good in hand, the carbon fiber isn't as nice as the Sage 1 either. I returned this and bought a minigrip with a thumbhole instead, its the only Spyderco purchase I've ever regretted.

I really use this as my EDC almost every day (Between this and a Brouse Silent Soldier). Only thing its missing is a lanyard hole. Awesome steel and great build quality. Great lock with really good lockup. Not a huge fan of the wire clip, but works great on the Sage.
